The review
CCXII Special scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing 212 VIP.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 212 VIP's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Carolina Herrera 212 VIP is passion fruit, rum and bergamot at first, gardenia and musk at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Boozy rum and passionfruit over vanilla, sugary and made for the club.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
